Aldrich played in the NBA for eight seasons following being the 11th pick in the 2010 Draft. He won a national title in college playing for Kansas, and was a McDonald’s All-American coming out of Bloomington Jefferson HS.

Note: Wolfson misremembered that in 1994 Denver beat Seattle, 8 vs. 1, after being down 2-0. Back then, it was a best-of-5 in the 1st round.
